Lyrics by Earl Brent
Music by Matt Dennis
Recorded by Nat King Cole (1953)
Try to think that love s not around,
Still it s uncomfortably near
My old heart ain t gainin no ground
Because my angel eyes ain t here.
Angel eyes, the old Devil sent,
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love s misspent,
Misspent with angel eyes tonight?
So drink up, all of you people,
Order anything you see;
+7
Have fun, you happy people
+7
The drink and the laugh s on me.
Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact s uncommonly clear.
Gotta find who s now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain t here.
+7
Have fun, you happy people
+7
The drink and the laugh s on me.
Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact s uncommonly clear
gotta find who s now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain t here
Excuse me while I disappear...
